I had a Voodoo Graphics or Voodoo2 that I replaced with a Voodoo Banshee board. Now I cannot run any games. I only get an error message or a black screen.
Voodoo Graphics and Voodoo2 install a registry key that is used by Direct3D to build a list of secondary devices. If you remove a Voodoo Graphics and Voodoo2 card but do not uninstall the drivers this registry key remains. Games will continue to try and use Voodoo Graphics or Voodoo2 but will fail as the hardware is not present.
To fix the problem you should un-install your existing Voodoo board as specified by the manufacturer of your board. If no uninstall procedure is documented you can download the following .inf file that will remove the registry key Direct3D looks for.
The delv.inf file will remove the Direct3D registry keys used by Voodoo Graphics and Voodoo2. To do: download the file, using Windows Explorer right mouse button click on the file in the download location and choose Install. If you use the delvgv2.inf file you will no longer be able to access Voodoo Graphics or Voodoo2 as a Direct3D device. If you installed the delvgv2.inf file by mistake and need to re-enable the Direct3D key for your Voodoo2 or Voodoo Graphics board follow these steps: Download the restore file for Voodoo Graphics (addvg.inf) or Voodoo2 (addv2.inf). Then using Windows Explorer right mouse button click on the file in the download location and choose Install.
